About this course

Bobby Jones Golf Course, a testament to adaptive reuse, occupies ground once deemed unsuitable for anything but a floodplain. Carved into the heart of Atlanta, and named for the city's native son, the course is unlike any other. Its unique reversible layout, re-imagined by Bob Cupp and associates, offers a refreshing take on the game and on a plot of land that seemed destined to remain unplayable. The routing navigates the low-lying terrain with surprising variety. Its reversible configuration presents a strategic puzzle that changes day to day. While not exceedingly long, the layout favors thoughtful shot placement over sheer power, rewarding players who can manage the course's subtle undulations and protect themselves from the hazards scattered throughout the landscape. While Bobby Jones has not hosted major professional championships, it remains a vital hub for Atlanta's golfing community. As a municipal course, it stands apart for offering a thoughtful challenge at an affordable rate. A true reflection of Jones's commitment to the spirit of the game, it welcomes players of all abilities to experience golf in a way that is accessible and engaging.

Getting there

Most visitors arrive via Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the world's busiest hub and a gateway less than twenty minutes north of Bobby Jones Golf Course. The drive follows I-85 through the city's evolving southside before slipping into the leafy, residential embrace of Buckhead, where the course occupies a surprisingly serene pocket of rolling terrain just off Northside Drive. Named for Atlanta's most beloved son and tucked between neighborhoods rather than announced by grand gates, Bobby Jones reveals itself quietly - a municipal treasure hiding in plain sight, where the hum of the city fades beneath the canopy of hardwoods and the echoes of a golden age.
